C5-R Headlights
I've seen pictures of a couple of C5s with these headlights. After searching the forum, Google, and eBay I can't find any references to a source for them.
Can anyone point me in a direction?

C5west.com
www.C5west.com has the c5r headlight, I bought the C5R body kit and with about 300 hours of work I got it to look good. However I decided to stay with the stock headlight system. You can see the car at the following site

what u need to know, is be prepared to spend a LOT of time installing these headlights if your doing it yourself. it took me 21 hrs to install...and its not 100% to my satisfaction, so it'll be coming off this winter... it is a great kit as far as light output, but thats basically the only reason its good. quality is crap, assembly is crap, parts look and feel cheap..its really the worst Vette part i have evr seen on the market. but i'l tell u what, when its on the car, it looks simply amazing and the light output (using HIDs) is equal, if not better, then the European cars...
scroll thru the pics on my website(3,6,7 pgs) link below in the sig, and you will see the difference.
questions, just holler!

I love the c5r look fixed lights...too bad the best vendor offering is from SW and from all accounts the build quality is poor and requires a lot of TLC to install. There was a forum member ( MRAY ? ) that was going to produce something 'better' but it hasnt materialized yet...still hoping he does it. Those CustomShop lights are SWEET, too bad those arent for sale!

Wow two great looking vettes on this post. Yeah the Specter Werks lights are the way to go. I've had both specter and c5west lights and the specters werks are by far the nicest! Well worth the time to install. Now I just gotta install HID in them and I'll be set!
